Can't decide what was more miserable.

Being a neet with 0 income or working...

Being a neet would be AWESOME with 100% financial stability, but it is 100% ass without that.

Working just plane sucks, but ya need the fucking money because this system is designed to sap everything from you.

Chit. Life is balls. Being someone's bitch is balls but so is living with mommy and papi like some child (though I plan on continuing living with them to build capital so I can actually invest and not live trapped in the rat race like the rest of you).

1) Look up "hedonic treadmill". You'd be miserable in a a couple months.

2) The only way to become a NEET with financial stability, is to earn enough money to "retire young". Requires a lot of work, and a lot of smarts.

Honestly being a wage cuck is better than being a neet

This

Literally half (50%!) of job satisfaction has been found to be the outcome of the people you work with
Thus for example even if you get a really shitty job that sucks all but 20% of the time, if you work with great people your work life can be 70% great and vice versa

Being NEET 24/7 is boring. Have a job for social interaction and trade crypto to add to your portfolio

I hate my work and I hate my co-workers. I also hate myself.

But soon I will get out. See you on the other side!

Real chads have a successful business that they spend maybe a couple of hours of work per day tops, just so other people don't look down on you as a leech, and rest you do whatever you want. Good luck accomplishing this though you need very high IQ and tons of luck to pull it of.

1. Flase. That's called projecting

2. You are thinking of that "fire" meme. The only way to escape is with self employment (sole proprietorship so like e-commerce).

I hate roasties. Also, all the highschool girls I knew are still the hottest girls I've met (minus like 1 or 2 since I met 2 college hotties).
>more exercise instead of being a fucken neet on 4chan all day
Projecting. Also, more free time = more time to train. Work = less time to train.
>disposable money to spend on more shitcoins
So that you can be a neet with financial stability and escape being a wagie. Even when you say you like waging, you STILL fantasize about escaping it kek

Na. Being someone's bitch is ass. No sugar coating it. Taking breaks when THEY want. Can't leave until THEY want you to. Can lose financial stability in a whim. Have to deal with political bullshit. Etc.

>>14979230
Ya... probably mostly luck. I feel the only legit business is e-commerce with amazon fba. I mean there's software and whatnot, and maybe I'll change my mind when I actually profit off of it, but it really does come across as luck.

A more stable way is leeching with real estate, but you need a shit ton of capital. Tis why the rich stay rich. Those fuckers hoard property. All they have to do is leech.

As a former NEET of 4 years, who has now amassed a small fortune of $40K at 22 with no debt, wagecucking provides many more opportunities than had I stayed a NEET.

I like to look at my job as a means to an end, unless you're a trust fund baby the funds are crucial for any worthy plans you may have; but even with that mindset, the social interaction, sunlight, responsibility, and problem solving skills have personally improved my life considerably compared to when I would do nothing but consume for 16 hours a day with no intellectual stimulation at all.

NEET checking in. I been off the societal grit for almost 10 years. Overall it's a pretty nice gig. However, It does have its pros and cons. For example, I have nobody to report to which is a huge plus. No church functions to follow, no people to compete with for a promotion, no relatives judging me. No schedule to keep. Whoever is the president literately has zero affect on my life. I can do whatever I want whenever I want.

On the other hand, It can be a lonely existence. You become indifferent to a lot of things and social norms. When I was young I used to say "I don't care what others think of me..etc", but on the inside I did care. Now, I truly don't give a fuck; which is very liberating. But in the long run it also makes me feel disconnected from the rest of society. I feel like an outsider looking in. I'm also not making any new friends or meeting acquaintances. The friends I used to have are no longer in my life. You can only miss so many weddings and nights out before people stop inviting you to things. Still the positives outweigh the negatives.


Also, being completely independent takes some planning, sacrifices, and luck. To make it all work I moved from super expensive Los Angeles (born and raised there) to a smaller city in the mid-west where cost of living is dirt cheap. For money I sell merchandise on ebay, amazon, and etsy. I import merchandise from various countries (Asia and south America). No drop-shipping bullshit though. I literally have a "mini-warehouse" in my basement. I probably work about 2 hrs a day. I love it.

This has nothing to do with having or not having a job. I work and this is 100% how I feel right now. I'd go full NEET immediately if I could afford to
